Technical Co-Founder Platform for Non-Technical Founders

Startup IO has helped a wide spectrum of non-technical founders – from Series A funded ventures in Europe, to Y-combinator companies in U.S., to first-time founders in Hong Kong – put together tech teams at 50% below market salary.

We provide our founders CTO, programmers, technical advisory board, with the aim to prepare them become investment-ready ventures in months.

Sometimes we match our startups up with investors, entrepreneurs and industry experts in our network.

AS YOUR CTO

We help manage your tech team, and provide them product inputs and technical guidance when needed.

You pay your team’s salary. You can upsize, downsize or completely let go of your team anytime. This team is really an extension of your startup, except the fact that they’re managed by us, so you can do what you do best - building a business.

WHAT IS I/O?

WE KNOW STARTUP

Startup’s product-to-market approach emphasizes on quick development of a "minimum viable product", designed with the smallest set of features that will appeal to a small group of target audience.

You will then continue to experiment by tweaking your offerings, see how the market responds, and change your offerings accordingly. The goal is to accelerate the pace of designing a product and developing a market.
